COLUMBIA, Mo. – The No. 21 Florida volleyball team tallied their eighth-straight win of the season after coming back and defeating No. 25 Missouri 3-2 (15-25, 25-21, 27-25, 22-25, 15-6) on Friday night in front of 6,300 fans inside the Hearnes Center. The Gators hand Mizzou its first home loss of the season, while snapping their nine-match win streak to improve to 10-3 in conference play and 19-5 overall.
Friday’s win marks the first time since 2021 that Florida has won eight or more SEC matches in a row. The Gators won nine-consecutive conference matches from Oct. 16 to Nov. 21 during the 2021 season when two-match series were played back-to-back due to COVID-19 regulations.
Sophomore All-American Kennedy Martin officially recorded the most kills by a Florida Gator after recording 32 in the five setter. It marks a career-high for the Fort Mill, S.C. native, and surpasses her previous career best of 31 kills that she registered twice in four sets this season. Her 31 still marks the most kills in a four-set match, but her 32 surpasses former Gator Aury Cruz, the four-time AVCA All-American and three-time SEC Player of the Year, who recorded 31 kills against Nebraska on December 8, 2001 in Florida’s Final Four match, which went into five sets. Cruz’s recorded 31 kills twice in her career when rally scoring went to 30 points.
